where I come from, we have an acronym for guys like Augustine Choge - J.A.K's

as in

Just.Another.Kenyan.

Which is just what this guy is. Just another Kenyan that runs 12.5X.XX for 5000m, is talented, ya ya, so what.

Choge pretty much does this every year - explodes in Doha with a big run (last year 1500m I believe), will go well into the first few weeks of June (usually one or two meets) and then completely flame out when the heavy hitters (like Bekele, Lagat) come along.

Btw, that guy will NEVER break 12.40 for 5000m.

Ever.

LOL....This forum is full of idiots.Eliud Kipchoge is different from Augustine Choge.Augustine did not go to Doha,because there was no 1500M in Doha.he will be running in a local event in Eldoret kenya today.

As to whether Eliud can crack 12.40s this year.I think he can.he is more focussed and also Bekele is out of the way.In the previous years Jos hermens has who manages both of them has always given Bekele priority in terms of meetings and opportunities to run fast times.This year Hermenes has no option but to focus on Kipchoge lest he does not make much money.
